Rewarding Events + Ambassador Status

I have been Platinum Premier Elite for a number of years, mainly from booking events. After the merger, I became PPE + Ambassador, which has since changed back to PPE. My spend is showing as $0. I currently have 265 nights for this year.

I cannot say if it is supposed to count or not, but they are currently not counting it. It is being translated as "Qualified Spend" on nights you stay at the hotel, being pretty much all spend except fees and taxes. Hopefully that is just a bug, because if someone is generating $100k in event revenue for Marriott, how could that not count as spend? However, the 100 nights does (at least today) have to be earned by "Qualified Nights", which is actual butt-in-bed nights. Even if that changes, it appears members would have to earn 75 nights/year (100 - 15 credit card elite night credits - 10 elite night Rewarding Event credits MAX per year for the event itself) to get enough Ambassador nights. You can however, earn more nights on a Rewarding Event - 1 elite night credit per 20 room nights booked, up to 20 elite night credits per contract.

So, I would translate this to a Rewarding Event comprised of a meeting alone (with no room nights) can only earn 10 elite night credits/year (since you only get 10 elite night credits on the 1st meeting of the year), but a Rewarding Event that includes actual hotel night stays can have up to 400 room nights per contract that can earn a max of 20 elite night credits, per contract.
